    I just received my Dell 1720 today, and decided to do a clean reformt. Upon trying to reformat, my installation hung on the last step "completing installation". After numerous tries, I still can't get past the screen. I also tried loading the drivers on the Dell installation CD, but it keeps telling me that no drivers could be found. It keep hanging, I've left it on for about an hour as well. Also, now I can't boot into Vista anymore, it's stuck on the green bar loading screen. Anyone know a fix?
